Local youth $ IfeftNA. state hoop title Brigham City youth, Brett Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Adams, has captured first place in state finals of the Elks Hoop Shoot competition. The state event was staged in Provo Feb. 14 and brought together winners from various parts of Utah. Brett who is in the fourth grade at Lake View division by Elementary school, won the connecting on 23 foul pitches in 25 attempts. The performance matched that turned in by the 3 division winner. The local youth now advances to the region contest at Phoenix, Ariz., on March 7. From there, winners will advance to the national shoot at Kansas City on March A NSWW $ I i & f!V nawft tewss. a.- 4 Could Tie The Bees face a distinct possibility of a tie for the region title and are assured at least a playoff for a tournament berth if they beat the Lakers. The Bees did not have a good night. Obviously tight, their shots werent falling well and turnovers were a nusiance. And the Bobcats could do no wrong. Rebounding was a franchise of visitors at first and they were stingy in letting any of that prize go to the Bees. They also brought a set of outside shooting eyes that almost proved the demise of the Buzzers. Brad Thomas did much of the first half damage as he hit 14 of his game high 18 tallies, most of high sweeping jumpers from long range in the corner. The Bees went four minutes into the game without a score on their new scoreboards before Wade Hall drilled a jumper to make it Sky View. Hall also canned a Juu.per with two seconds left to knot the score at 0 at the first stop."" f ... 2 12-1- "t 10-1- 20.

Brigham City Elks Lodge No. 2208 and Brigham Exhalted City are very proud of Bretts performance, Ruler Maneul Fuentes said. Brett Adams hoop winner . , Poise of Champs Although the Bees were hanging in there, the Bobcats were playing with the poise of a champion, knowing their accurate shooting would make it a matter of time before they surged ahead and put the game in the bag. It didnt turn out that way. With Thomas and Nolan Tay- lor banging away from outside, the Cats were secure in their zone defense that the Bees could penetrate but sometimes not score. Despite this, the Bobcats lead at managed only a half. The third quarter was perhaps the most dismal for the Bees as only Steve Nowak, 29-2- 6 At Box Elder High DE player named to Little league yearbook mat program beckons kids A little league wrestling program for youngsters in Brigham City and surrounding areas is scheduled in March and April, it was announced this week.

Region 1 Marlin Jensen and Scott Corry were able to score and not a lot 9 at that. The board read with eight minutes to play. Coach Stewarts assessment of the game to this point held the Bees were tight over the prospects of a trip to the state tournament. 45-3- First Time This is the first time any of these kids have been in a position to go to a state tournament. I think this hurt us the first three quarters. And it was a physical game, the most physical game Ive ever seen, he said. It was a battering contest, with Corry taking two hard falls in the first half and sustaining a cut on his eye. SVs Todd Johnson received a bloody nose and fat lip during a rebound scuffle. Bodies were falling and lumps given and taken. Tim Kohler and Bruce Godd-eridg- e were hitting well from the outside in the third period, but despite that, the Bees kept in their harassing zone and zone press, which to this point hadnt provided that much problem for the Bobcats. The fourth quarter brought a change. Subtle, slightly percep-tabl- e at first, but gaining momentum. The Bee defense never gave up, hustling and scrapping. Thomas canned a to lead give the Bobcats a 3 with just under four minutes to play and that was the last SV tally. Down the line, Hall fouled Kohler, who missed the one and one. The Bees brought the ball down and Nowak was fouled, hitting the first but missing the second. An alert Corry pulled the rebound from amidst a trio of Cats and flipped it in. Score: 50-4- 50-4- Try to Stall The visitors tried to let the air out of the ball and were fairly successful until Taylor cast off a long one that missed and the Bees took the rebound. Williams was fouled with 2:07 to play andcalmly tossed them both in, letting the Bees trail only by two. Corry stole the ball on the press and Williams shot went off the rim to a Bobcat and it looked like the visitors had the game in the bag. After eating up about a minute with keep away, the Bobcats called time out to regroup for the final 37 seconds. The play was almost advantageous as the Cats committed a backcourt violation on the inbounds and the Bees took over. Corrys shot, however, rolled in and out and Nowak fouled Tim Belnap on the rebound. Belnap missed, the Bees took the ball and with 12 second left, Alan Asay hit a short rebound shot to knot the game. Hall, on a questionable whistle, fouled Godderidge with five seconds left and the guard missed his game winning one and one shot. Marlin Jensen snagged the shot with four seconds left. Pass Stolen timeout by the Bees and Williams took the ball for the out of bounds play. Godderidge stepped between Corry and the ball, stole the pass then blew a layup and Williams, probably leaping higher than he has in his life, snared the rebound and was fouled by Kohler. Time had run out as the whistle blew. Giving Bee fans the high sign as he stepped to the line, the junior flipped in the first shot of his one and one and the game was Box Elders. A cloud of fans and students erupted onto the floor and Williams decided to forget about the bonus and savor the win. "I cant hand it to the kids enough. They had a lot of opportunities out there to duck their heads and say thats it, but they never did. They hung in there. They hit some clutch shots down the wire. "Keith (Williams) has all the confidence in the world. There was no doubt in his mind he was going to make it, Stewart said. Sky View lost its poise in the fourth quarter. Asay, who was the victim of some early fouls, played little in the first half and his return in the second half was a morale booster to the Bees. Stewart praised his, Halls and Corrys clutch shooting in the fourth period. Hall hit two jumpers early in the fourth period to keep the pressure on the Bobcats. Corry led the Bees with 14, while Williams added nine, Hall eight, Jensen and Nowak seven each and Asay only four, but one of them the game tier. A final analysis of the rebounding shows the Bees held a with a game edge of margin in the second half. Asay, who dwelled on the bench half the contest, had 10 in his playing time. Nowak snagged six, Corry five and Hall three. 27-2- Sky View hit 10 of 17 in the second half for 58 percent while the Bees shot a respectable 10 of 18 for 56 percent the same time.
